Hey Guys, I just installed the new Kibana and Elasticsearch (5.2.0) on my env and got some issues with my already created dashboards. With the previous version 5.1.2 i did not get these errors. What i try to do is create a vertical bar chart with x-axis: hostname severity (include pattern ERROR) program Each time when i add the pattern i receive following error in Kibana: > Visualize: [parsing\_exception] Expected [START\_OBJECT] under [size], but got a [VALUE\_NUMBER] in [5], with { line=1 & col=397 } My visualization: > { > "title":"Error logs/servers", > "type":"histogram", > "params":{ > "shareYAxis":true, > "addTooltip":true, > "addLegend":true, > "legendPosition":"right", > "scale":"linear", > "mode":"stacked", > "times":[ > ], > "addTimeMarker":false, > "defaultYExtents":false, > "setYExtents":false, > "yAxis":{ > } > }, > "aggs":[ > { > "id":"3", > "enabled":true, > "type":"terms", > "schema":"segment", > "params":{ > "field":"hostname.keyword", > "include":{ > "pattern":"" > }, > "size":10, > "order":"desc", > "orderBy":"2" > } > }, > { > "id":"5", > "enabled":true, > "type":"terms", > "schema":"split", > "params":{ > "field":"severity.keyword", > "include":{ > "pattern":"ERROR" > }, > "size":10, > "order":"desc", > "orderBy":"2", > "row":true > } > }, > { > "id":"4", > "enabled":true, > "type":"terms", > "schema":"group", > "params":{ > "field":"program.keyword", > "size":5, > "order":"desc", > "orderBy":"2" > } > }, > { > "id":"2", > "enabled":true, > "type":"count", > "schema":"metric", > "params":{ > } > } > ], > "listeners":{ > } > } Any idea why i got this error on 5.2.0 and not on 5.1.2 and how to solve this? Thx! ---

@jmaelbrancke are you trying to create a new vertical bar chart in 5.2.0 and it's giving you this exception; or did you create a vertical bar chart in 5.1.2, upgrade to 5.2.0 and then try to view the existing chart? ---

@Brandon_Kobel both ways give me this error. I don't have the problem when i create the vizualization without the include pattern. ---

@jmaelbrancke would you mind taking a screenshot of where you're seeing that error? I'm having trouble trying to replicate the issue that you're experiencing. ---

@jmaelbrancke Hi,I have same issue,and I got same error as you. Did you find a solution? I have to remove all Include and Exclude Pattern,This is very bad. Here is my post: > [@Include Pattern error after update kibana to 5.2.0-1](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/include-pattern-error-after-update-kibana-to-5-2-0-1/74467): > > I have some visualization chart using Include or Exclude Pattern,the syntax in kibana 5.1 was work normally. But when I update kibana to 5.2.0-1 yesterday,I get error,like this: Visualize: [parsing\_exception] Expected [START\_OBJECT] under [size], but got a [VALUE\_NUMBER] in [2], with { line=1 & col=338 } I juest update kibana,elasticsearch and filebeat and I confident they versions are the same. Why I get error without modify any configuration information? Did I missing something? … ---

Apologies for the delay responding, I've had trouble replicating this behavior, but I'm checking with a few others who have more intimate knowledge of these visualizations. ---

This is being caused by a known issue with 5.2.0. Elasticsearch accidentally removed support for an "outdated" way to specify Includes/Excludes that Kibana was using, and it will be added back by Elasticsearch in 5.2.1. Here's the GitHub issue for a bit more context: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/10159](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/10159) ---

Hi,@Brandon_Kobel . I have two question: 1. According to issue #10159 on github,should I downgrade to 5.1? 2. issue #10159 suggest we should update to the new syntax,where can I found the technical documentation about new syntax? I would like to thank you for your answer. ---

@Terence_Chuen you could potentially downgrade to 5.1 to resolve this issue, but you'd have to downgrade Kibana/ES; or 5.2.1 should be coming out shortly that will address this issue. Here's the ES github issue where the old/new syntax is discussed: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/22933](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/22933). KIbana is using the old syntax of `"exclude":{"pattern":"apollo"}` where the new syntax is simply `"exclude": "apollo"`. You won't have to change anything in your visualization to get this new syntax to work, as Kibana is responsible for generating the query. ---
